Funk Parade 2018: Audio Postcard

On May 12th, 2018, Washington DC rejoiced together in the name of funk, and it was good. The 5th Annual Funk Parade filled the historic U Street Corridor with music and maDCap was there to capture the energy. Our own David Ross was one of the festival organizers this year and Dan Bloom was lucky enough to run into him and snag a few minutes while walking together down U Street.
You'll also hear impromptu appearances by our friends Amy Saidman of Story District and Philippa Hughes of Women of Uncertain Age and you'll hear music by Dave Rob, Batala Washington Women's Drum Corps, and Be'la Dona, the dynamo all-woman GoGo band.

Thanks to David, Amy, Philippa, Justin, Chris, Tony, and all the organizers, artists, and sponsors who keep the funk alive.
